Just 2 things

[BJ Searle]

1. Did anyone read jiu jitsu magazine spread on metamoeis? Crazy biased and just a silly read.

2. When you read it check out the Manto ad. The rashie looks eerily similar to a 10P rashie.

I thought jjm were supporters?

I don't know the specifics, so before we jump to any conclusions why don't we find out who the author of the article as that might explain the bias right there. before we hate a whole organization for one author's opinions.

Oh man, which issue?
I love that mag, but I can't stand for any more of this Gracie conspiracy coverage.
We're behind in Aussie land, is it the one with Kit Dale on the cover?

[BJ Searle]

No. Andre Galvao and Atos just got mine yesterday

Team Atos is the main picture but Kit has a small picture on the cover.

Company's pay for ads in magazines. Why would Jiu-Jitsu Magazine not run that Manto ad? With the blow up of rashie designs of course rashies are going to look similar. There's no patent on designs and frankly its not Jiu-Jitsu Magazine"s responsibility to see who made which design first. I can't tell the difference between all the gi's out there if you took the brand name off them.

When I first read this I thought you meant Jean Jacques Machado. I was like what? lol

There are no patent on designs, but there are copyright infringements on artist's works.

Well the Manto is similar but different. I'm not sure that case would win in court.

[BJ Searle]

I'm not pinning that on jjm, I'm just saying the design is suspect. Can't be letting those weird planet guys have any credit

[Sean Marshall]

Saw the article today. First obvious thing is the author does not understand !0th Planet Jiu Jitsu. There were some technique name misunderstandings and guesses to what was going on. So there is a good chance of the usual instructor brain washing implanted to slant the authors words, maybe without them even noticing. Definitely looks like its more on the author than the magazine


Manto's rash guard does look pretty similar but at least they didnt just make an pretty much identical copy like Reign Unlimited did.

[Wancarlos]

Yeah that RU rashie is like a freakin' carbon copy man. just with awful gradients lol
